To do interest of a number, you have to use the formula prt=i, or principle times rate time equals interest. The principle is the dollar amount. Like for example, I'm going to say I'm borrowing $10,500 from the bank. The rate is the percent. For example, I'm going to borrow that $10,500 at a rate of 16%. The time is the amount of years you will be borrowing this money. (Or if it gives it to you in months, put the number of months over 12, or if it gives you weeks, put that number over 52, etc..) So, I'm going to say I'm borrowing $10,500 at a rate of 16% for 3 years. In the example I've given, you would just multiply 10,500 times 16% (or .16) times 3. After you multiply the three numbers, you get $5,040. That's the interest, but then when you pay the bank back, you will have to pay them $15,540. (The original amount you borrowed plus the interest.)
